hey guys, i just bought some ultimarc U360 sticks, which i believe are based off of the Sanwa JLW sticks. i love these sticks...alot. anyway, i was looking at lizardick.com and saw that they have multiple colors of the bat tops available for the JLW sticks. http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/joysticks.shtml they are the LB-30-N units. is it safe to assume that these will work on my u360 bat top shafts? also,i was wondering how these colors compared to the happ buttons? i have blue and yellow happ buttons in my panel, with black battops on my joysticks...i would love to have a blue and yellow bat top instead, but if they are going to be too different in color, i dont think i will bother. the blue looks a little lighter than the standard happ blue, and the yellow looks a little brighter but it is so hard to tell from a picture without seeing them side by side...do any of you have any experience with these to tell me how they compare in color? i'd hate to spend the money and have them look like crap with my buttons. |

Grats on the U360's let me know how you like them after you had them awhile. I figured with no tactile feedback it would be hard for me to use them for fighting games that use diagonals, also it was more expensive to get 2 of them than it was 2 standard joysticks and an encoder. However for a standard 1 joystick setup its cheaper. Did you get any accessories like the optional gates or springs? I was thinking I would want the hard spring and the circular or octagonal gate, but read about so many issues installing or calibrating them that it sort of turned me away. |

so far, i really like them. my panel has only been functional for about 2 weeks now, but i am very happy with them. i bought the longer shafts, medium springs, and octagonal restrictors. however i really didnt' like the feel of the restrictor, so i took it back off. i was a little concerned at first by the lack of clicking, however i seem to be adjusting just fine. i am not a fighting game expert...far from it...however i found that i can pull off dragon punches in street fighter much easier with the u360 than i could with my x-arcade sticks. they work pretty well as a 4 way stick also. yeah..they lack the physical restriction of a good 4way stick, but they feel good and respond very well. i haven't noticed any drop in my scores in pacman or donkey kong since switching from a dedicated 4 way to the u360s. i went back and forth a long time tryign to decide if i should spend the money for the u360s...looking back, i'm glad i did. my panel is only 12x30" so i didnt have alot of room. i really wanted a trackball, and it would have been really crowded tryign to fit a dedicated 4 way stick in there yet also... |

Check this colour selection: http://www.zaorysin.com.ua/brand/sikkens/techinform/techinform08.htm This is pretty accurate for sRGB calibrated monitors. The blue from Sanwa bal-tops is like R5.52.49 (it's in my swatches but not in the scheme i see, but comparable to S0.40.60). The Happ blue is T0.50.30 The yellow bal-top's from Sanwa are F2.55.75 The yellow Happ-button is F8.60.80 Arcadeshop.de has Sanwa bat-tops in sanwa colours, but no yellow. So I don't know if it is Sanwa yellow or Happ yellow. The image you show looks like sanwa-blue and happ-yellow :dizzy: |

Not sure if it helps, but I purchased 4 ball-tops from Lizard Lick, and they fit both the U360's and the JLW's on my panel. The thread size is the same on both. Where did you get your long shafts for the U360's - and will they fit the JLW's too? |
